Did a little tiny bit of setup work earlier, and hopefully I'll be a lot more competitive in the 360 tomorrow than I was in the Lambo on Tuesday.

anyone know whats a good time in a GT2 here? Hard to tell if your on the pace or not in praccy without a benchmark. Looking forward to this one. My fps has been stable for a few days so ive got everything crossed that ive sorted it once again. It seems my nvid card and the simbin games dont talk to each other properly. If i leave either AA or AF set to 'application controlled' it causes the random FPS woes, so ive over-ridden both in Nvid control panel and so far so good. Lets hope we can have a cracking last race of the season in GT2

I think I was doing 1:55 or 1:56 in race trim yesterday but I expect I'll be slightly faster tonight if it's not wet.

Looking forward to this race, just hope I dont get anymore strange connection problems again. Was OK on Friday night so fingers crossed. What changes were made in the last update of the track Dave or staff members? See you tonight fellow sim racers

similar race pace for me too Dave, so hopefully we can have a good race this eve. My fps woes arent sorted however :'( so 50/50 whether it will be good enough to race with this eve. Seems a total hit and miss as to whether it wants to play ball at the moment.

Looking at the times of Kerr and Busi up there, seems I'll be a couple seconds down again If it rains, make that a couple laps

Really sounds to me like you have some background process causing interference MJ. Have you tried shutting down all non-essential processes before firing GTR up?

am so gutted i feel sick got stutters but just about manageable in race albeit at slower lap times. Sat on the grid for race start and no pedal controls worked i could change gear and turn steering but nothing else. Had to hit escape. what a crap end to my enduro season and time wasted practising for it. I was really looking forward to this race. :'(

Baby started crying a fair bit and just couldn't manage to get her back to sleep...Mother was occupied right up until 6 mins past the race start Think it would've been a very interesting race too. Hope you all had a good one. Catch you next time. Jon

never could get on with this track...had a ctd in qually, then i couldnt see anyone else.. then stutters everytime a car came near me. not an enjoyable experience tonight. sorry to TT for the tap in T1. you pulled out to take the 'kink' but I was on that line already and couldnt slow enough. quit out next lap..go find something more enjoyable to do than that track.

Quallified and started quite well, had a great battle with Prof for as long as it lasted. Just after passing Prof I came to the chicane and took the rumble strip and the car flipped over and would not flip back over. Sad end to a possibly good race.
